I have the game installed on my computer and my bro wants to play the game too except he wants to play it at the same time I do. (Together only that he plays on his crappy computer at the same time I play on my own computer.)
The problem is that we both have the same IP and I didn't know if it was against any rules or anything.
I checked around but didn't find anything against it.

Does anyone know whether or not we can play the game at the same time or know where the rules for this type of stuff is?

I don't think they have the same account. At any rate you can set up different IP addresses. I assume you guys have a router. There is a sticky on getting two people through the same router at once. I believe it is in the tech help section.

Yes this is what I meant. XD

So then a static ip should work?

If you don't have different Ips the system may think it is one computer trying to log into two different accounts. Your router probably assigns different Ips to your computers when you go online. At any rate if you don't forward it properly with two people you have the potential to lag like all get out. Thats why you should go read the sticky XD. I feel like a broken record.
